Untitled is a 1816 ink by Unknown, a Romanticism work, depicting animal, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This print shows a small wooden box with a green ribbon tied around it, sitting on a red mat. Behind it, a folding screen leans against a red stand with a potted plant and a red ox standing on top. The background has Japanese writing and a few scattered petals. The ox on the stand is unusual—it’s bright red and looks almost cartoonish. The box might hold something special, given how it’s placed front and center. If you like this mix of everyday objects and bold colors, look up still life.
